Maybe this is me admitting I'm a basic bitch, but Fall is my favorite time of ever. Coming from a girl with a summer birthday, that's a bold statement. I love the crisp air, the early nightfall, the flannel, the fireplaces, the blankets - I'm into it, okay? It's also that time of year when... Continue Reading →
One of Them Days
I've had a really great morning so far. I woke up and looked in the mirror and looked exactly like Charlize Theron...in Monster. I'm a total gremlin. My allergies have been so bad, I can't get through thirty minutes without sneezing and they're coming in threes. They say sneezes are like orgasms. Um, they're not. ... Continue Reading →
Love You, Mean It
I am currently on a plane headed to the Midwest for Ann Arbor to celebrate my aunt and uncle’s 50th wedding anniversary. Yes, that's them - how cute are they? These two humans have chosen to stay together for 5 decades. Kinda blows your mind a little bit doesn’t it? I don’t think I like... Continue Reading →
Survivors
I was secretly hoping I would never have to write this. I've kept my story to myself. I've read all the stories, I've witnessed the speeches, I've seen all the posts and spent countless hours scrolling through the comments like a fly on the wall. I have stood in silence and relived my experience vicariously... Continue Reading →
Stuck in a Moment
Oh. My. God. If you haven't fully indulged in the musical masterpiece that is Celine Dion's It's All Coming Back to Me Now, stop what you're doing and watch the music video NOW. You're Welcome. Grab a snack - it's over 7 minutes long. My friends and I rediscovered this song on a road-trip to... Continue Reading →
Dark Hearts
I couldn’t decide what to write about this week so I asked my brother and sister for suggestions. My first mistake. These were the responses I got: “People who ruin their own insults with grammatical errors” “Urban Meyer” – although very tempting, no. “Star Wars” “Blog about how cool nerds are” “Us” to which I...

the last kiss
I had the absolute honor of standing by one of my best friends this past weekend as she said I DO to the man she met in a lazy river in Vegas. Talk about finding love in a hopeless place. The ceremony was almost as beautiful as the bride. She was a total smokeshow. It... Continue Reading →
Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Another trip around the sun in the books. I'm 35 now. That happened. That number seems so old to me but I also feel so disconnected from it. I don't really associate myself with the number my birthday represents. I think I stopped counting a decade ago. It doesn't say much about who I am... Continue Reading →
Kryptonite
May it be marked in history that last night this girl had the craziest hankering for ravioli of all time. That's all I could think about. My current gluten and dairy free gotta-fit-into-that-bridesmaids-dress-diet does not allow Italian treats. OR any treats of any kind for that matter. [insert single teardrop down my cheek] Can't my... Continue Reading →
